'Very Weakened' Jared Kushner Reportedly Snubs Highly Regarded U.S. Ambassador From Mexico Meeting

Hoping to smooth over relations between the U.S. and Mexico, President Trump sending his son-in-law Jared Kushner south of the border.

But Mexican leaders have a reportedly pessimistic view over what can come over the visit and over who he’s left out.????Kushner is facing backlash over his reported decision to leave out the highly regarded American ambassador, Roberta Jacobson from the talks.

She’s been working in Latin American diplomacy for over 30 years, announcing her planned retirement just days ago.????And experience is what the U.S. needs to smooth ruffled feathers.

Since Kushner lost his top secret security clearance, one opposition lawmaker tells Reuters, Mexican diplomats see Kushner as “...very weakened, and he is going to get weaker.

More than anything, what he comes to say here will be contradicted by Trump the next day."????Meanwhile, tensions are running high over Trump’s planned tariffs on aluminum and steel.

But White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders floating the possibility of an exemption, saying, "There are potential carve-outs for Mexico and Canada, based on national security, and possibly for other countries as well."??
